Read previewLast August, Kim Kardashian posted on Instagram that she'd gotten a full-body MRI scan from the startup Prenuvo, which sparked a national conversation about the merits of preventive imaging. With Kardashian's help, the scans were finally making headlines — and healthtech startup Ezra felt their impact. "The day that Kim Kardashian got a scan, even though it wasn't an Ezra scan, our day-over-day revenue spiked," Ezra CEO and cofounder Emi Gal told Business Insider. Those tailwinds have propelled growth for Ezra, which partners with radiology clinics to perform full-body MRI scans. And, with Ezra's scans, that startup has "helped hundreds of people find cancer," he added.

A startup that has developed an automated platform to test AI models has just secured $4.7 million in fresh funding. RagaAI has developed a way to gauge the safety and reliability of AI models, and diagnose any issues instantly. Its platform screens AI issues across large language models (LLMs), videos, and audio to structured data. An example use case included a product team using Raga's tool to identify hallucinations in its chatbot. The round was led by early-stage venture capital firm Pi Ventures, with additional participation from Anorak Ventures, TenOneTen Ventures, Arka Ventures, and Mana Ventures.

"It allows us to understand, truthfully, what drug developers are struggling with," he said. Here's the 20-slide pitch deck that got Pepper Bio $6.5 million in seed funding.

☆ Investing in Space: A reality check on SPAC frenzy revenue projections
  + stars: | 2023-10-12 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +13 min
Overview: Forecast or fantasyWe're now at least two years on from when a slew of space companies went public during the SPAC frenzy, and, look, none of them look great. Now a bit further down the road, I want to look at a different financial metric: 2023 revenue projections. I ran an informal series for a while to mark when a space company announced it was going public. The rest of the pack isn't as on the mark: A few companies are roughly halfway to their earlier 2023 revenue projections, or performing even better. Spire forecast 2023 revenue of $227 million and is closing in on about $107 million.
